In Search of Accountability

A Review of the neglect of older people living in Care Homes investigated as Operation Jasmine

The BBC reported today:

“Families of care home residents in south Wales alleged to have been victims of abuse have welcomed the publication of a highly critical review of an investigation into the complaints and allegations.

Dr Margaret Flynn’s review found those providing the care were “impervious to the needs of older people”.”

Operation Jasmine “No one has been held accountable”

And this is a more comprehensive report from the BBC:  “Operation Jasmine: Care home doctor ‘should have been prosecuted’.”

The Older People’s Commissioner for Wales commented on the report:

“I welcome the publication of Dr. Flynn’s report today, which I hope will address the many unanswered questions of the families of the victims of the alleged abuse and neglect investigated by Operation Jasmine and help to drive the change needed across our care home system.”
“The report clearly demonstrates the ways in which the criminal justice system has let down the older people and families involved in this investigation.”
